forest raven
#

LW Blue isn't that good at KR

stoic dragon
#

panthera why

forest raven
#

Dam Son

stoic dragon
#

man if rascal stayed with soldier

#

could've cleaned up after that shatter

#

but i guess bastion broke shield

#

wakawaka getting picked right before last fight was shitty too

toxic yacht
#

mfw lw blue is selfless

stoic dragon
#

if only flower was soldier

forest raven
#

Jesus fucking Christ

#

Sae is insane

toxic yacht
#

3-0 or reverse sweep again?

stoic dragon
#

hopefully

golden olive
#

GG LW

stoic dragon
#

ya i dont think its going to happen again

#

think they're just going to get 3:0'd

toxic yacht
#

maybe they can do some hanamura magic again

#

then lw will throw on payload

forest raven
#

Hanamura isn't in the map pool

toxic yacht
stoic dragon
#

just hoping LW C9's it

#

and just like bails on point

forest raven
#

Nah, they already pulled their C9 the last time they played Panthera

stoic dragon
#

i know. lets hope it happens again

#

아 타이무 형~

toxic yacht
#

something something taimou

stoic dragon
#

hey pretty good

toxic yacht
#

he definitely has good aim

stoic dragon
#

i enjoy watching his stream

#

because he plays on the korean server

#

and him interacting with korean players is fun

golden olive
#

Taimou is fun to watch, seems to be a good sport

stoic dragon
#

alright rascal. evermore's not going to do it

#

time to go beastmode

forest raven
#

over 2 minutes in

#

Evermore just got his ult

#

xd

#

no kills

#

xd

stoic dragon
#

not looking good 😦

toxic yacht
#

lmao, chasing saebyeolbe through half the fuckin map

#

twice

stoic dragon
#

goddammit evermore

toxic yacht
#

rascal the survivor

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Nanohana tried

stoic dragon
#

when i said go beastmode

#

i didnt mean you saebyeolbe

toxic yacht
#

lmao

golden olive
#

lol

toxic yacht
#

fucking

#

saebyeolbe

stoic dragon
#

dude held the point by himself

toxic yacht
#

ayyy, they finally doin it

#

in ot

stoic dragon
#

2cp tho

toxic yacht
#

I'm rooting for lw, but I'm gonna be so salty if lw stalls

forest raven
#

What is it with teams and suddenly losing the ability to defend in OT

toxic yacht
#

kd used all of their ults

#

shhhiiit

#

ah, they did it

#

draw, OT spawns

forest raven
#

True

toxic yacht
#

OT benefits the attackers because defenders have longer respawn times

stoic dragon
#

yep

forest raven
#

I will say this again, if you're in an invuln state, you shouldn't be able to contest the objective

toxic yacht
#

which is why it makes more sense to engage right when ot begins

stoic dragon
#

lets at least get one map, for christ's sake

#

only match tonight

forest raven
#

Panthera ThinkingSombra

#

Being in an invuln state should mean you can't contest or contribute to taking an objective

#

That would make the game more bearable in general, imo

stoic dragon
#

widow on point b

toxic yacht
#

kd doin it

stoic dragon
#

not beastmode enough

toxic yacht
#

kinda sad that koreans never teabag

stoic dragon
#

wtf

toxic yacht
#

at least haksal did it to jake

#

at the monthly melee

forest raven
#

The delay is all the BM they need

toxic yacht
#

they only "hello"

#

which is also amusing

stoic dragon
#

could be because korean server chat/voice is filled with shit talk

toxic yacht
#

ahhh

stoic dragon
#

i've never felt more sorry to my mom

toxic yacht
#

I mostly meant in eSports though since I have no exposure to korean ranked apart from a few streamams

stoic dragon
#

than i do when playing on korean server

toxic yacht
#

and I don't speak korean :/

silk linden
#

this is still old patch with fun 2CP rules right?

toxic yacht
#

yee

stoic dragon
toxic yacht
#

oh hey, this feels like an incoming draw

#

yay

#

I love 2cp

#

actually

#

I sense a map loss

stoic dragon
#

this makes the king's road loss even worse

forest raven
#

TIME FOR THE REVERSE SWEEP BOYS

toxic yacht
#

should have waited with that engage tbh

forest raven
#

Janus reminds me of KnoxXx

#

Feeding the Hog over and over again

stoic dragon

#

#

also, is there any hero Nanohana doesn't play?

#

fucking tviq 2.0

forest raven
#

Reinhardt?

stoic dragon
#

"LW went for a weird defense, let's do the same"

toxic yacht
#

because LW's defense totally worked

#

well, KD already did it better

forest raven
#

I'm prepared for the full hold xd

stoic dragon

forest raven
#

Well, Sae's popping off

forest raven

KongDoo didn't though

KongDoo got to the semis

golden olive
#

GG Kongdoo

forest raven

So you have the obvious picks for the semis in LW Blue and Lunatic-Hai

RunAway vs LW Blue and MA vs Lunatic-Hai

#

I keep missing events! We have anothe rone coming up in a few hours?

#

Or did I literally just miss one?

silk linden
#

there was one just now

dusty surge
#

Bah. How many hours ago did it start?

silk linden
#

Idk I only caught the end

forest raven
#

Started two hours ago

#

Ended like ten minutes ago

#

It was only the one match

dusty surge
#

Alright. Sounds like the next one is Friday-ish?

forest raven
#

Semis for APEX begin on Friday

#

2nd last day of group matches for the OCS are tomorrow as well, in about 12 hours

toxic yacht
#

this is what happens when people keep whining about esports related announcements

#

lol

forest raven
#

kek

dusty surge
#

11 hours is hockey time, though. :(

forest raven
#

rip

#

Eh, it's only group matches

dusty surge
#

Also, that's like 8am, so both will probably lose to sleep anyway.

forest raven
#

Also, playoffs for the OCS and The Pit will both be online apparently @toxic yacht

toxic yacht
#

understandable

#

no monies and stuff

forest raven
#

Yeah

#

I want more LAN's in NA before OWL in fucking September

toxic yacht
#

lol, good luck

#

owl announcement

#

scared away any people who'd potentially make a tournament

forest raven
#

Yeah

toxic yacht
#

we had 4 majors in the second half of 2016

#

it was looking good, then blizzard just had to kill all of ow's momentum and the EU scene

jovial eagle

Spicy

toxic yacht
#

Lmao

edgy remnant
#

lol

toxic yacht
#

And yes, probably a waste of time. Scheduling a bunch of stomps where you can barely practice because you're flat out outclassed seems pointless

edgy remnant
#

when has a team ever declined a scrim because they were scared

toxic yacht
#

Being scared of a scrim doesn't even make any sense, lul

#

He's probably just joking

edgy remnant
#

yeah it's most likely banter on both sides

vestal mortar
#

I do love some esports banter

toxic yacht
#

That's why I love those videos at the beginning of APEX matches

#

Hafficool also tried to bring in banter

#

We saw how that backfired, lul

edgy remnant
#

taimou bants

balmy wolf
#

Fnatic mid tier NA team

rapid oxide
#

Haffi admit to be mid tier

#

His shitpost is likely done

clever wagon
#

Holy fuck TviQ with that roast

toxic yacht
#

Maybe Fnatic just told him to shut the fuck up, lol

#

That escalated waaaay further than it should because he kept answering

balmy wolf
#

yoyo

#

How's Orisa?

mental vessel
#

Rip that fuckin savage

clever wagon
#

Wait holy shit

#

They did it again

#

Pushed everything to live

She is such a beast

pine star
#

I'm here for the esports worstherointhegame

pine star
#

What did i miss this weekend?

#

How'd AMM go?

solid spear
#

was great

#

got to see 9 matches of Rogue and Selfless

pine star
#

Worth watching?

solid spear
#

Id watch the Rogue Selfless games at least

pine star
#

Selfless beat LG Evil and ended up second didn't they

solid spear
#

yeah

pine star
#

Oh boy

#

NA standings shuffling again

solid spear
#

hmmm are they really?

pine star
#

Well I guess

solid spear
#

I feel like it just confirmed what a lot of people thought anyway

pine star
#

Selfless beating everyone but rogue

solid spear
#

I mean even then

#

Rogue went 5-4 against Selfless

#

so even those 2 are pretty close

toxic yacht
#

also, they lost a round because emong's mouse is a meme

pine star
#

Wait

toxic yacht
#

finalmouse?

#

I forgot

#

basically, it misfired

pine star
#

Did they face each other twice?

solid spear
#

yeah

#

Winners finals and grand finals

pine star
#

I'm going to dose myself in vods tonight

#

How'd my boy Sinatraa do? Hard carry?

toxic yacht
#

#

Yes

solid spear

#

hopefully see a bit more Zen

balmy wolf
#

They might ban her though

#

solid spear
#

I think they will

digital pond

I don't feel like any team is ready to use her though.

toxic yacht
onyx hull
#

hey is kd vs lw blue worth watching?

toxic yacht
#

#

spring lintel
#

I really hope to god that they dont ban orisa today

#

Junkrat is gonna be better too

#

Orisa not banned pogchimp

digital pond
#

That lucio poster is actually fucking beautiful.

#

Ok why does spree not soldier more lmao.

spring lintel
#

Lol spree

#

He couldnt push

opaque owl
#

i think he got booped?

spring lintel
#

Those dumb casters

opaque owl
#

didn't really see

spring lintel
#

They blocked him

#

He cant go in

#

When they are all in front of him

balmy wolf
#

damn that sleep

spring lintel
#

Lol that was so funny and awkward

#

Omg that was so funny

#

Ube just standing and waiting for them to attack was gold

balmy wolf
#

Finally catching a game and SHADDER

silk linden
#

that was a fun round

balmy wolf
#

Winston might get an even higher pickrate than Zarya this patch

#

The last few days I've seen him around so much

#

also if Liquid wants any chance of getting to play offs they HAVE to win

spring lintel
#

Liquad are dominating nepal

balmy wolf
#

rip the rez dream

#

What was that? lol

#

loooool

spring lintel
#

LOOOL

#

Omg that was something

silk linden
#

I will never feel bad missing the translocator throw ever again

#

I was right in thinking that shit has a weird arc

balmy wolf
#

The memes are good

spring lintel
#

Rip LGLOYLUL

#

I hope lg wins

#

I always cheer for the losers so the match can continue

balmy wolf
#

No, I want Shadder to be happy

#

Lol shadder is so funny

balmy wolf
#

#

Chokquid no more

spring lintel

I just enjoy shadder's personality

balmy wolf

Wait how many rounds are left?

#

None

spring lintel

It's done

#

Rip lg

balmy wolf
#

Wait isn't Liquid out now?

spring lintel
#

No

#

They won

jovial eagle
#

i like seagull

spring lintel
#

They will have to win tmw against lg evil

jovial eagle
#

even though he can't shoot people walking in straight lines

spring lintel
#

Lul

balmy wolf
#

but RNG is still above them

forest raven
#

Technically they're not out, they're just in the Losers' bracket now

jovial eagle
#

"I'm really good at this game - misses easy shots-"

spring lintel
#

I literally cant wait for NRG

jovial eagle
#

-Seagull 2017

balmy wolf
#

What does Liquid need to advance?

spring lintel
#

To win tmw

balmy wolf
#

To beat Evil

spring lintel
#

Against evil

balmy wolf
#

Oh wait

spring lintel
#

Luuuul

balmy wolf
#

There's still a match tomorrow

forest raven
#

coL needs to lose both their matches and Liquid needs to beat LGE

balmy wolf
#

I hope LG throws

forest raven
#

coL's last games are against RNG and IMT so they could lose both

#

But Liquid losing to LGE is very unlikely

balmy wolf
#

RNG PLEASE

#

In addition to the base prize money, teams will also receive $300 USD for each Bo5 (win or lose) during the regular season (until playoffs).

#

Oh damn

#

That's pretty deluxe

forest raven
#

Yeah, every team makes an extra $3k for competing

balmy wolf
#

Probably why the prizepool is low

spring lintel
#

They are encouraging throwing?

balmy wolf
#

No?

#

LET'S GO RNG

wintry matrix
#

does anyone know who Reach is?

balmy wolf
#

Phew

#

No one knows apparently

#

orisa throwing

jovial eagle
#

i thought

#

orisa's not in comp yet

#

but they can choose in tournaments?

forest raven
#

Yeah

#

Tournaments are all just custom games

#

And they chose to not ban Orisa

jovial eagle
#

oh ok

forest raven
#

Also, Reach seems to be a good addition to the coL roster

jovial eagle
#

orisa feeds a lot like hog

digital pond
#

Who is Reach?

#

No more Nesh?

#

That grav was fucking golden.

balmy wolf
#

Nesh is on Laser Kittenz

Oh. He played somewhere else for a bit so I wondered.

I only got to the tournament.

balmy wolf

Did RNG just give them the point on purpose?

forest raven
#

Hafficool's in the chat lul

digital pond
#

Reach looks solid.

#

I don't think Juv3 is used to Winston at all.

balmy wolf
#

I hope they pick him up so in the article when they announce him they tell me who he is

#

lul

forest raven
#

Juv3 isn't used to Reinhardt

digital pond
#

Lmao.

#

I think he's doing well enough imo.

#

Juv3 died to 5 hp Meza.

#

How.

balmy wolf
#

Juvenile isnt used to Rein

forest raven

It was a joke implying that Juv3 is bad at Reinhardt

GooOoOooOod morning everyone! I just posted the Meta Report for what's unfortunately now one patch behind the current one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/60v81q/overwatch_hero_meta_report_a_tale_of_two_team/

Because it was a different patch, I mostly focused on Rogue and Selfless' team comps since I don't think they're going to change those up very much, and because they're doing some really interesting things with strategy. I think you'll enjoy it! Let me know what you think either by @ ing me here, or leaving a comment 😮

@frank frigate on the podcast will you be talking about the changes on ptr and orisa at all?

frank frigate
#

Given that we're having a Lucio player on, it'll be hard to not talk about Lucio! Orisa we've talked a lot about on previous podcasts but since she's live I'm sure she'll come up again @wanton bronze

WohoHohOHAOHoaho

Definitely not the same maps we've been seeing the past month in Carbon and AMM

#

yay

Fixed map pools will bring diversity, don't you know?

#

I still can't wrap my head around why they think that this is a good decision

digital pond
#

Woot more tournaments.

opaque owl
#

shouldn't fixed map pools help pro players?

toxic yacht
#

huh, I'm watching jake's vods rn

#

he's kind of good at the game

opaque owl
#

since you have less maps to train on

#

and less combinations to consider

#

more focused scrims

digital pond
#

I guess so, I was speaking more on a spectator point of view. That will just make awful gameplay during international tournaments since APEX is more varied in their maps. We would have games on each side with teams doing awful.

#

That's not fun to watch,

pine star
balmy wolf
#

NICE

#

WORLDWIDE

#

but 16 players for the entire Asia region is way too little imo

pine star
#

It says "Nate Nanzer proposes", so i don't think its final

rapid oxide
#

Yeah but that means EU could be possible already included in OWL

#

Or it's just to fill some eu and asia names to explain how global owl will be

#

Dunno about a team from paris

#

Also check the sentence at the bottom

#

Note: illustrative cities

#

they are just examples then

balmy wolf
#

Paris spot

#

RIP Rogue

#

I'd say LDLC will probably take that now

rapid oxide
#

Or GO?

#

🤔

balmy wolf
#

Ah yeah

#

Possibly

#

But LDLC is the bigger org

pine star
#

Or maybe Rogue just leaves NA thenkeng

#

^not likely, i know

balmy wolf
#

There's gonna be a lot of orgs gunning for the LA Slot

pine star
balmy wolf
#

Between 2 and 15 million dollaroos

solid spear
#

just 16 eh

#

gonna be a lot of solid squads that miss out

pine star
#

If this is people making assumptions, Blizzard's damage control squad need to act now

toxic yacht
#

yes, they should

#

it honestly feels like a bit of a misscommunication

pine star
#

Absolutely

toxic yacht
#

especially since they handed over the league rights in china to the guys who did apac iirc

#

there's no way that china would only have 1 team

#

when they literally do something like that

solid spear
#

honestly I thought there would be more teams

#

overall

pine star
#

I will just act like i didn't see that tweet until something official comes out

#

There you go, thank god

toxic yacht
#

lul, thank god for being fast blizzard

#

blizz has done a lot of stupid shit, but this would be on another level of stupid

#

should probably have made "ILLUSTRATION" bigger

#

I bet that he mentioned that it's an illustration

#

but people either didn't listen/saw the picture and didn't give enough of a shit to find the context

#

blizzard would totally only have one team for china after that

rapid oxide
#

people hear/see what they want to hear/see

digital pond
#

that seems a bit low in total but eh

#

This has LCS kind of stentch

balmy wolf
#

What does

toxic yacht
#

man, whenever the camera was on kresnik vs rogue

#

playing reinhardt into that comp

#

seems like the most frustrating shit ever

digital pond
#

@balmy wolf I feel a OWL LAN being on the west coast kind of deal a la LCS worries me a bit. I do get having less cities in the East of the Ocean since it's another government but I was hoping for at least 5 in EU and Asia :/

balmy wolf
#

Yeah but

digital pond
#

I do know it's illustrative and not a final say, but ya.

balmy wolf
#

Thats just an illustration

digital pond
#

Ninja'ed baby

balmy wolf
#

Not at all final say

digital pond
#

It's just a worry, I'm sure they'll prove me wrong.

#

It's huge potential wise.

solid spear
#

I mean

#

16 teams didnt really make any sense

#

It had to not be final

balmy wolf
#

inb4 16 teams in asia, 5 in EU, 2 in NA

rapid oxide
#

Inb4 everyone will move back to EU because no owl

velvet scarab

Lol

Carbon VODs are an absolute mess

EerpS down 6 ranks :/

balmy wolf
#

What?

digital pond
#

Probably decayed.

#

He's only been playing on Spree lately.

clever wagon
#

Ye

#

I know he's been grinding Spree

#

Just saying

balmy wolf
#

Oh ranked

digital pond
#

haha

clever wagon
#

@pseudo sail I'm dumb but is it "bloodthirstiest" or "most bloodthirsty"? @.@

balmy wolf
#

Most bloodthirsty would be correct

#

Carbon's on

#

Overtalk for 15m~ then Liquid vs Evil

clever wagon
#

NA hours haHAA

digital pond
#

Oh yeah Emongg is there no?

#

He said he had a podcast to do.

#

nvm

spring lintel
#

Semi finals then finals?

balmy wolf
#

wha

spring lintel
#

Since it's the last

#

I dunno

balmy wolf
#

This is still the group stage

#

The Semis and Grand Final aren't for a few weeks yet

#

But yes, Liquid vs Evil and then coL vs IMT

spring lintel
#

Oh

#

How much is the prize

digital pond
#

I thought murder was illegal.

balmy wolf
#

1st gets 4500

#
  • the 3000 from the group stage
spring lintel
#

Tf?

balmy wolf

Classic NA production

spring lintel

They didnt get 3rd?

No

Woah

no u r

last lantern
#

the NA scene is gonna be sick soon

clever wagon
#

Yeah das old

#

I do think LGE looks better with 2-2-2

last lantern
#

once NRG gets fully organized

#

and once mendo and ryb get back from sweden

clever wagon
#

Jake Train duet can give much more pressure than when Jake has to solo dps

balmy wolf
#

It already is sick tbh

spring lintel
#

Why are evil so inconsistent

digital pond
#

Voll's Zarya is pretty nice.

balmy wolf
#

They have a new carry every game

#

lul

spring lintel
#

Voll carried their asses

#

But liquid did play VERY well

#

Their ana shut down a very crucial nanovisor

silk linden
#

when can we expect games with Orisa allowed?

jovial eagle
#

it's already allowed?

#

i think

digital pond
#

I think he means teams actually playing her.

#

But that's unknown.

balmy wolf
#

She is already allowed

#

Teams just aren't running her

silk linden
#

alright

#

I can see her being viable though

balmy wolf
#

Also holy shit Liquid took 1st really fast

silk linden
#

not sure what her role/niche really is, but her kit is solid

balmy wolf
#

Holy fuck

clever wagon
#

I mean

#

If these matches use competitive format in the server creator, Orisa probably still falls into the restriction

balmy wolf
#

If I was Evil, I would just throw to give Liquid the spot in the Playoffs

spring lintel
#

Lg evil are getting stomped

balmy wolf
#

Because Evil is already guaranteed in the Playoffs

#

She isnt banned in customs @clever wagon

clever wagon
#

Huh

silk linden
#

yeah I don't think she's banned in customs

#

why would she

balmy wolf
#

Im assuming he just didnt read the whole post

#

Just read she was banned from competitive and assumed that meant custom comp too

#

lul

digital pond
#

Vol has been getting really good Gravs

#

Can I post pics In here?

balmy wolf
#

As long as they're sfw

#

and on topic

iron mauve
#

It has to do with OwL

balmy wolf
#

Then yes

iron mauve
#

It won't let me though

balmy wolf
#

host it on imgur

iron mauve
#

Ok

#

look at dis bois

balmy wolf
#

An app screen?

#

What about it

iron mauve
#

Im trying to make a concept UI design for an OwL app. Not sure what a good name could be.

balmy wolf
#

What would it be for

supple nymph
#

ExxuApp

iron mauve
#

like, following your fav teams, player stats, OwL news, highlights, all of it

#

idk, still planning, think of it as something created by blizz.

balmy wolf
#

Liquid over double the time Evil have

#

First they roll Loyal and now Evil

#

RIP LG

silk linden
#

all hail our new liquid overlords

balmy wolf
#

3-0 inc

#

They capped 1st with 1:50 left

#

jfc

#

Evil have to just be throwing because they are already in the playoffs

#

This is crazy

silk linden
#

is it me or are teams getting lazy/conservative with hero picks

#

the meta might not be the most balanced ever, but there's no way out of 24 heroes both teams pick from a pool of 10 even when they're not doing work

digital pond
#

Teams always had their go to picks though.

#

It's just that right now certain heroes work the best. That and people main them.

#

Genji is highly mained by DPS in teams.

#

Soldier is just super strong.

#

Rein is Rein.

wanton bronze
#

soldier genji and tracer are super popular

digital pond
#

^

balmy wolf
#

All metas so far in OW have been 10~ viable heroes or less

digital pond
#

And they're good.

balmy wolf
#

With off meta picks working sometimes

silk linden
#

I want to make a team that only goes off meta. Who's in

balmy wolf
#

Lets go

#

4 DPS 2 Supp

silk linden
#

2 supp

#

what a normie

balmy wolf
#

One of them is sombra

silk linden
#

one of them better be symm

#

sombra must pick in every team

wanton bronze
#

@balmy wolf well at the moment its apparently 14 heroes that are "viable" if you follow captain planets reports

#

and widow is like borderline out of the lowest tier

silk linden
#

more like "played" than viable

balmy wolf
#

I'd say the heroes in Tier 4 are more off meta picks picked often

silk linden
#

I predict in the future, regardless of nerfs and buffs, the meta will become much more varied

#

it happens in sports too

balmy wolf
#

Or just a hero run by a team or two a lot of the time

silk linden
#

lots of unexplored possibilities, the game is still young

wanton bronze
#

torb and sym are are still good out of the tier 5 heroes

silk linden
#

the important thing is not falling into the fallacy of believing that what's currently run by the best team is the best option possible

delicate sparrow
#

is carbon series on the live patch? or is it rolled back like apex?

balmy wolf
#

Live

delicate sparrow
#

sick

balmy wolf
#

Whoa

#

That self destruct into grav

#

Obviously because of how dominant Rogue is

#

Their comp is best

#

Not nanoblade

wanton bronze
#

they might have wanted to build winston ult

#

just in case it goes to shit

balmy wolf
wanton bronze
#

LETS GO

balmy wolf
#

O SHIT

#

ORISAA

#

chat dying

#

inb4 Evil reverse sweeps with Jake on Orisa every map

#

Also just realised

#

Evil forced into quad tank

delicate sparrow
#

rapha switching to liquid's support player is such a good choice imho

balmy wolf
#

keep nanoing winston

wanton bronze
#

and people want tracer ult buffing

balmy wolf

Team kill before point unlocks

#

liquid G liquid O liquid D liquid L liquid I liquid K liquid E liquid

They lost

Hm

#

Being a dps is a hard life mane

spring lintel

LOL

#

What is this

#

This is embarrassing

spring lintel
#

Who won

#

Had to go

wintry matrix
#

IMT 3-0

digital pond
#

How did Reach look?

balmy wolf
#

That means Liquid is in the Playoffs I think

#

because coL lost and they beat Evil

solid spear
#

no

#

theyre not

#

their game against LG Evil meant nothing

digital pond
#

Playoffs Day1 is IMT v CoL

#

And LGE v RNG

#

According to da stream.

balmy wolf
#

Ah right

#

coL had to lose vs RNG for them to get in

#

rip

wintry matrix
#

wait, there won't be losers bracket?

Week 5 (final week!) of the Carbon Series Group Stage:

LG Loyal 2 - 3 Immortals
Renegades 1 - 3 LG Evil
Liquid 3 - 1 LG Loyal
compLexity 3 - 1 Renegades
Liquid 3 - 0 LG Evil
compLexity 0 - 3 Immortals

With the end of the group stage, the teams in the playoffs (25th March) are:

Immortals vs. compLexity
LG Evil vs. Renegades

balmy wolf
#

No there wont @wintry matrix

forest raven
#

Liquidpedia lied to us

gentle shuttle
#

"zarya's look better the worse their team is doing" ZP dropping some gems. As a zarya-main i completely agree

toxic yacht
#

Huh, LGE lost?

forest raven
#

Yep

#

Liquid 3-0'd them

toxic yacht
#

First loss of the tournament?

forest raven
#

Yep

toxic yacht
#

Also, orisa?

forest raven
#

I think Jake used her at one point

#

I didn't watch it

toxic yacht
#

tbh the orisa pick makes me believe that they were experimenting a bit. They went 4-0 or something, should already have a guaranteed spot

balmy wolf
#

Jake used Orisa on Nepal

#

For two stages

#

They did already have a guaranteed spot but they were running their usual comp for most of the series

toxic yacht
#

Ahhh

balmy wolf
#

So idk if it was a throw or not

#

I feel bad for Liquid though

#

Only if coL lost to RNG

#

Then they would be in playoffs

toxic yacht
#

They got Shadder too late, lul

balmy wolf
#

Yeah :/

#

They really did start to turn around when they picked him up though

forest raven
#

Azk improved so fuckin much

balmy wolf
#

Picking him up and putting Rapha on Lucio was a great choice

#

They're only going to improve from here

#

Cant wait to see them play next

forest raven
#

When does The Pit start damnit

balmy wolf
#

Also recently Evil have been looking pretty sloppy

#

Losing 2 maps to RNG and Loyal

#

And now getting 3-0'd by the 2nd worst team in the tourney

#

Methinks they've hit a rough patch

toxic yacht
#

mfw Minstrel going to the next big eSport, Stardew Valley was actually a good thing

balmy wolf
#

Kind of like how after IMT won the WP

#

They were doing well

forest raven
#

IMT's kinda pulling it back

balmy wolf
#

and then just started doing a lot worse

forest raven
#

I have faith in IMT after that article

toxic yacht
#

Pit EU should be starting in 11 hours or somethimg iirc

balmy wolf
#

They were looking like a tier 1 team

#

Or at least top of tier 2

#

And then they kind of lost it in Carbon

#

But yeah you right draw

#

They have been improving

forest raven
#

Someone said that IMT takes a while to adapt to a new meta, but when they do, they begin to steam roll

toxic yacht
#

IMT always takes long to get really good

forest raven
#

Saw that in triple/quad tank where they bombed C9

toxic yacht
#

Like, every time a new patch hits

balmy wolf
#

what a guess lul

toxic yacht
#

It feels like they adapt really slowly

#

But become very good after figuring it out

forest raven
#

Yeah, when triple/quad tank stuck around for a while, they were pretty unstoppable

toxic yacht
#

They also weren't dominating NA until the end of World of Tanks

#

Oh, you just said that

#

kek

forest raven
#

When do the NA games start, I can't watch the EU ones @balmy wolf FeelsPizzaMan

balmy wolf
#

Oh

#

That starts on the 30th

#

lul

forest raven
#

rip

toxic yacht
#

Can't wait to see NiP crush Lazer Kittenz, lol

#

I haven't seen them for far too long

forest raven
#

The EU games start at literally like 4am for me

balmy wolf
#

kek

toxic yacht
#

Ah basically, carbon

balmy wolf
#

Carbon starts at 1am tho

#

for you

toxic yacht
#

Point is, both are terrible and would involve using magic on our schedules

forest raven

Yeah
